Delhi Gate, Monument gate in Daryaganj, India
The Delhi Gate features red sandstone walls with intricate carvings and stands as one of the main entrances to the former walled city of Shahjahanabad.
Emperor Shah Jahan ordered the construction of Delhi Gate in 1638 as part of the fortification system that protected the seventh historical city of Delhi.
The gate contains stone elephant sculptures at its entrance and represents the architectural practices of the Mughal period in northern India.
The structure connects the old part of Delhi to the new sections through Daryaganj area, with the road leading toward Kashmiri Gate in the north.
The eastern section of the original fort wall near Delhi Gate was removed to accommodate the construction of Old Delhi Railway Station.
